Need help on a GEC

Post by jww »

This knife is out of a friend's GEC collection and he doesn't have the tube for it. The knife is 4 1/2" long closed. The master blade is stamped Great Eastern over Cutlery over Titusville PA and the Rear side is stamped Cyclops over Steel Works. The secondary blade is stamped Great Eastern over Cutlery over Titusville Pa and the rear side is stamped 2008. The secondary blade is etched 1 of 50.

Can anyone help with the pattern number and pattern name. Also the handles look like stag. They show some natural hairlines and at the same time they look like bone (aged) made to resemble stag.

There should be 49 more out there somewhere. Maybe some AAPK member has one. Will great Eastern sell an empty Tube??

#23 in Burnt Stag and 440C Stainless - VERY NICE KNIFE.
Don't know if they sell tubes, but they are a pleasure to deal with.

235208 in Elk Horn is my guess; don't show a Burnt Stag in GEC brand for 2008.

Yes, they will send you a tube if you pick up the shipping. Be sure and tell them you need a "GEC" brand label on it for a SS knife.
